Recipe: O'Charley's Loaded Potato Soup - RJBumphus

I would say that O'Charley's Loaded Potato Soup serves about 20 servings. The reason is that one gallon of liquid contains 4 quarts & that is a lot of liquid.

My suggestion is that you use only 1 quart of liquid with the other ingredients included in the recipe & then the recipe will be correct.

My apologies for the inconvenience!.

By the way, here is another recipe for the same soup & this one sounds smaller (only for 8).

O'CHARLEY'S LOADED POTATO SOUP

3 pounds red potatoes
1/4 cup margarine, melted
1/4 cup flour
8 cups half-and-half
1 (16 ounce) block Velveeta cheese, melted
White pepper, to taste
Garlic powder, to taste
1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
1/2 pound bacon, fried crisply
1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
1/2 cup fresh chives, chopped
1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Dice unpeeled red potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes. Place in a large Dutch oven, cover with water and bring to a boil. Let boil for 10 minutes or until 3/4 cooked.

In a separate large Dutch oven, combine melted margarine and flour, mixing until smooth. Place over low heat and gradually add half-and-half, stirring constantly. Continue to stir until smooth and liquid begins to thicken.

Add melted Velveeta. Stir well. Drain potatoes and add to cream mixture. Stir in pepper, garlic powder and hot pepper sauce. Cover and cook over low heat for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Place soup into individual serving bowls and top with crumbled bacon, shredded cheese, chives and parsley.
